QNAP TL-R1600PES-RP 16-Bay JBOD Enclosure

The QNAP TL-R1600PES-RP-US is a 16-bay JBOD enclosure designed to expand the storage capacity of compatible QNAP NAS systems. It supports both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA II and SATA III drives, giving you flexibility in choosing the right drives for your needs. This enclosure connects to your NAS via dual Mini-SAS HD (SFF-8644) ports, allowing transfer speeds up to 64 Gb/s, which helps maintain fast data access even when handling large files or multiple users.

With support for cascading, you can link multiple TL-R1600PES-RP units together to scale your storage infrastructure as your data grows. The enclosure includes dual 550W redundant power supplies, ensuring continuous operation even if one power supply fails, which is essential for environments where uptime is critical. Cooling is managed by three 80mm fans that keep the drives at optimal temperatures, helping to maintain performance and reliability over time.

Management is straightforward through QNAP’s Storage & Snapshots Manager, which allows you to handle your storage without the need to rebuild RAID arrays. This makes it easier to add or replace drives without disrupting your system. The TL-R1600PES-RP is ideal for businesses or professionals who need to archive large amounts of data, perform backups, or expand their storage capacity in a scalable and reliable way. It fits naturally in environments where high-capacity, flexible storage expansion is required alongside a QNAP NAS.
